Myanmar Extensive Reading Programme

MERP increases exposure to and understanding of English in Myanmar through reading.

MERP is designed to provide Myanmar learners of English with a simple and enjoyable way to increase their fluency in English.

It does this by:

- providing exposure to English outside the classroom for learners who do not read or hear English in their everyday lives

- enabling students of English to learn by themselves in situations where their teachers lack proficiency and experience

- establishing a habit of reading for pleasure in English offering a viable alternative to rote learning

- promoting critical thinking
